Steps:
- For the pretzel crust: In a food processor, pulse the pretzels, sugar and butter together until nearly as fine as graham cracker crumbs.
- Line a 9-inch cake pan with parchment and press the pretzel crumbs into the base.
- Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 10 minutes. Cool on a rack.
- Once cooled, scatter the caramel pieces over the top and set aside
- For the flourless chocolate cake: Adjust the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler over medium heat.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites on medium-high speed until they reach medium peaks.
- Add the sugar and whip to stiff peaks. Add the egg yolks and whip for two minutes.
- Fold in the chocolate mixture in three stages, being careful not to deflate the batter.
- Pour the batter into the pretzel crust, and bake for 15 minutes. When done, the center should feel slightly bouncy, but an inserted cake tester should come out like a moist brownie batter.
- Allow the cake to cool overnight before unmolding.
- For the spice blend: In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon, ginger and star anise until well blended. Set aside.
- For the sauteed pears: In a saute pan over medium heat, saute the pears until slightly translucent.
- Add the sugar and 1/2 tablespoon of the spice blend, and cook until the pears are tender and their juices slightly thickened. Allow to cool before use.
- For the salted caramel sauce: In a large pot, combine the sugar, water, corn syrup and salt. Cook until the mixture acquires a nice amber color, indicating it has reached the caramel stage (325 degrees F on a candy thermometer). Remove from the heat.
- Gently heat the cream in the microwave, then add it slowly to the caramel (be very careful¿the mixture will bubble up!).
- Once all cream is added, stir in the butter. Taste and season with more salt if necessary. Let cool.
- To finish: Top the cake with sauteed pears and pour caramel over. Chill until the caramel sets.
- Serve with brandy-flavored sweetened whipped cream.
PEAR POUND CAKE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8 x 5inch loaf pan. In a mixing bowl, cream 6 tablespoons of the butter with the sugar and the vanilla until light and smooth. Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, and nutmeg and toss together until evenly mixed. Add half of the flour mixture and the egg to the butter mixture and mix well. Add the rest of the flour mixture and the buttermilk, beating them in well. Fold in the pears and the pecans. Scoop the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the center is firm and golden and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes, then turn out of the pan and finish cooling. When cool, invert onto a serving plate and cut into slices.

Steps:
- YIELD Eight to ten servings TIME 1 hour 25 minutes For the cake, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the pear slices on a baking sheet and roast until tender, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, butter and flour a 10-inch tube pan. Place the pears in a food processor and puree until smooth. Set aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until very light; batter will appear curdled at this point. Mix in the vanilla and the pear puree. Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder. Mix the dry ingredients into the batter just until combined. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the top springs back when touched in the center, about 1 hour. Place on a rack to cool. Turn the cake out of the pan and reinvert onto a cake plate. To make the sauce, place the chocolate in a double boiler over barely simmering water, stirring occasionally until melted. Whisk in the cream and brandy. If making the sauce in advance, rewarm before serving. To serve, place a slice of cake on a plate and spoon the chocolate sauce beside it.

Steps:
- In a pan big enough to hold the pears snugly, tip in all the ingredients except the pears. Half fill the pan with water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 10 mins to infuse, drop in pears, cover and gently poach for about 30 mins until soft. Turn off the heat and set aside. The pears can be poached up to 2 days ahead and kept in the poaching syrup in the fridge.
- To make the chocolate sauce, tip the chocolate into a heatproof bowl. Bring the cream, milk and cinnamon to the boil and pour over the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate has melted. To serve, drain the pears and, holding them by the stem, dip them in the chocolate sauce to completely cover. Serve each pear with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.
